Women are sexually
violated and harassed in all societies. I have created this section Inshallah,
to address this problem within Muslim communities in particular.
Especially because Muslim women tend to be more reluctant to report such
incidences, instead, letting it eat away at them.

Sexual harrassment
is rampant in Non-Muslim communities as well. To see what is going on,
please visit "Liberated
Modern Woman?" However, I do believe that more women are able
and willing to report or lodge complaints in these societies.

As a religion and way of life, Islam
offers the most priviledges
to the woman and her rights
as a human being equal to man.There
is a small minority of sleazeballs among Muslims. These men give a bad
name to Islam and the majority of good Muslim men. Muslim men should
be the LAST people on this earth to commit molestation and rape. God commands
both women and men to lower their gaze. What is the use of women wearing
the veil, besides the blessings God gives to those who follow His instructions,
if some Muslim men cannot control their hands nor their libidos?

Down with
Silence: Help fight against rape and molestation

The best solution to this is to expose
these men and as a follow-up, educate them.

These minority of men have been encouraged
partly because women have not been speaking up. You have been silent all
your life. Do not feel sorry for them because any man who thinks he can
violate a woman should be ready to handle the consequences.

The Islamic law of punishing extreme
cases of theft and murder is basically to set an example so that others
are fearful of committing the same mistakes.

We need stories and accounts...we
need suggestions from sisters on how to solve this problem....a public
discussion will act as a warning to erring brothers and as encouragement
to sisters who have been silent.

This section will include accounts
of being raped or molested. I invite sisters, young and old to send in
their contributions using this
form (no need to use your e-mail).

Please take note that while our target
group constitutes Muslim men/perpetrators, you are welcome to submit stories
of such experiences with Non-Muslims as well. The solution is the same.
Inshallah, by being more vocal about it, our otherwise peaceful and
loving community will be totally rid of such people.

I pray that we are on the right path
and that Allah helps our cause.

What some sisters
have to say....these include personal stories as well as suggestions, comments
and advice.

What some brothers
have to say....(It
is very sad...some said that accounts of Muslims women being raped and
molested by Muslims men might bring shame to Muslims....sadly, that is
not what we are ashamed of...if you read what a few brothers have to say,
you'll be ashamed of them instead..now we know why this problem as persisted
in Muslim communities)
